Is this online only, or in-store as well? I’m about 15 minutes away from a Nordstrom Rack, and would happily jump on the chance to buy a cheap Shinola watch (if they're in stock).

I’ve said this before as a strategy for VAG to hold on to overall sales volume in North America in the wake of Dieselgate. Also, bring SEAT.

This one is about an attempted car theft.

The wreck actually took place in Orlando, the Ocoee PD officers crossed into Orlando to continue the pursuit.

Don’t tempt me to drive up in my Mini, and we can play a game of “who’s car has been less reliable”

Doug, how many license plates do you own?

Florida Man’s very wealthy cousin, Florida Sir goes to NY and gets towed.

What about buying at the very end of the year - I know in my previous state any leftover inventory was subject to property taxes, so it benefited the dealership to negotiate on the last sales day of the year

Mine’s an F56. So far.... this one even didn’t have to get the early-2014 manual F56 engine replacement, which most early F56's have. Mine was brought in for the recall, and the service advisor, shop manager, and shop foreman all said... “this is the first time we haven’t needed to replace it.

I second this - I worked in aerospace for six years until earlier this year, and our IT department was constantly scouring ebay, craigslist, and surplus auctions for old computing equipment to support our legacy avionics

That’s why I bought my Mini. 2k miles on the clock, but CPO’d with warranty to 75k.

“Entering Hillsborough County”

I got this, a 2014 Mini Cooper S 6-speed manual, CPOD’d, with the JCW tuning kit, for a hair over $25k (not counting sales tax though, which this didn’t specify). So I get a fun car, a DeMuro approved extended warranty, for the specified budget.

Mini wins!

Back in the day (80's and earlier), my grandparents would buy a car in Europe, drive it around for several months on vacation, and then import it. They’d usually buy it in Spain, since they were dual nationals (a lovely benefit passed town to my parents and me). It was usually some MB or Porsche product that wasn’t…

“This one’s for all my readers in greater Dade County”

Mini Cooper S FTW (this one is mine).

I considered one of these. Found a really good deal on a CPO’d one... then the carfax said accident. I was still willing to buy it (after purchasing the police report), and made an offer at 15% lower. No dice (eff you autonation dealers). So I walked away. The sales manager chased me to find out why, and I flat out…

China’s been doing this for quite some time in other fields - like watches. Invicta for example, it used to be a top swiss watch maker, now they’re chinese made discount watches.

That photoshopped license plate on the second pic makes me want to punch the car
